Dublin residents asked for feedback on plan for €3bn Metrolink line

A public consultation is beginning on the proposed €3bn Dublin Metrolink. Once operational, in 2027, the service will be able to carry around 30,000 people an hour in both directions. Some 4,000 jobs are set to be created during construction. Metro Link will run predominantly underground linking Swords to Dublin Airport, and then through the city centre to Charlemont, at which point it will take over the Luas line south to Sandyford. This is the preferred route, but there will be at least seven public meetings starting next week, where locals can have their say, and learn how it affects them. Na Fianna GAA club and Home Farm football club will both be affected during construction, while Metro Link project director Aidan Foley said that around 100 properties will also be affected in Glasnevin, Tara St and Charlemont.

Help to understand the Irish planning system and its goings on

This blog is designed, written and produced to provide anyone with an interest in planning or who needs to understand parts of the planning system with this information, and also to provide an up to date log of Irish planning stories which deserve national attention.

In addition, from time to time interesting pieces of planning related material will be posted. If anyone wants anything included just email me and I'll post it (if it is not too rude ...).

Students of planning will find parts of this site especially useful as course notes.
